Cyber Security Essentials

Scott H. Belshaw

Since the 1990's, the internet has transformed business by enabling the collection, analysis, and almost instantaneous transmission of data. It has also transformed crime. The demand for 24-hour online access to databases and information has created unprecedented opportunities for unethical people. A hacker anywhere in the world can sneak into your company's computer network, steal all your sensitive data, and sell it to other criminals on the internet. Cyber Security Essentials  is a resource to help you understand and manage the threat of cybercrime. The first section is an overview of the different types of cyberthreats. The second section provides tools and techniques for assessing risk and identifying the best options to protect your business. The third section concerns cybercrime that targets individuals.  You do not know where your adversary lives, or what they will do next, but you can stay ahead of them by keeping yourself informed and leveraging the latest technology. There are solutions for almost every threat. Transform yourself from a victim into a proactive digital citizen who makes cyberseurity a priority in every area of life. When your adversary discovers that you are difficult to attack, they will move on to an easier target.
